Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
American humor and American popular heroes were born together The first popular heroes of the new nation were comic heroes, and the first popular humor of the new nation was the antics of its hero-clowns The heroic and the comic were combined in novel American proportions in popular literature The heroic themes are obvious enough and not much different from those in the legends of other times and places: Achilles, Beowulf, Siegfried, Roland, and King Arthur The American Davy Crockett legends repeat the familiar pattern of the old world heroic story: the pre-eminence of a mighty hero whose fame in myth has a tenuous basis in fact; the remarkable birth and precocious strength of the hero; single combats in which he
distinguished himself against antagonists, both man and beast; vows and boasts; pride of the hero in his
weapons, his dog, and his woman
Davy Crockett conquered man and beast with a swaggering nonchalance He overcame animals by force of body and will He killed four wolves at the age of six He hugged a bear to death; he killed a rattlesnake with
his teeth He mastered the forces of nature Crockett’s most famous natural exploit was saving the earth on
the coldest day in history First, he climbed a mountain to determine the trouble Then he rescued all
creation by squeezing bear-grease on the earth’s frozen axis and over the sun’s icy face He whistled, “Push along, keep moving!” The earth gave a grunt and began moving
Neither the fearlessness nor the bold huntsman’s prowess was peculiarly American Far more distinctive
was the comic quality, all heroes are heroic; few are also clowns What made the American popular hero heroic also made him comic “May be”, said Crockett, “you’ll laugh at me and not at my book” The
ambiguity of American life and the vagueness which laid the continent open to adventure, which made the land a rich storehouse of the unexpected, which kept vocabulary ungoverned and the language fluid this
same ambiguity suffused both the Crockett legends were never quite certain whether to laugh or to applaud,
or whether what they saw and heard was wonderful, awful or ridiculous

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
The technology of the North American colonies did not differ strikingly from that of Europe, but in one
respect, the colonists enjoyed a great advantage Especially by comparison with Britain, Americans had a wonderfully plentiful supply of wood
The first colonists did not, as many people imagine, find an entire continent covered by a climax forest Even along the Atlantic seaboard, the forest was broken at many points Nevertheless, all sorts of fine trees abounded, and through the early colonial period, those who pushed westward encountered new forests By the end of the colonial era, the price of wood had risen slightly in eastern cities, but wood was still extremely
abundant.
The availability of wood brought advantages that have seldom been appreciated Wood was a foundation of the economy Houses and all manner of buildings were made of wood to a degree unknown in Britain Secondly, wood was used as fuel for heating and cooking Thirdly, it was used as the source of important
industrial compounds, such as potash, an industrial alkali; charcoal, a component of gunpowder; and tannic
acid, used for tanning leather
The supply of wood conferred advantages but had some negative aspects as well Iron at that time was produced by heating iron ore with charcoal Because Britain was so stripped of trees, she was unable to exploit her rich iron mines But the American colonies had both iron ore and wood; iron production was encouraged and became successful However, when Britain developed coke smelting, the Colonies did not
follow suit because they had plenty of wood and besides, charcoal iron was stronger than coke iron Coke
smelting led to technologic innovations and was linked to the emergence of the Industrial Revolution In the early nineteenth century, the former colonies lagged behind Britain in industrial development because their supply of wood led them to cling to charcoal iron

Question 51: The word “abundant” in paragraph 3 is closest meaning to _.

Question 52: According to the passage, by the end of the colonial period, the price of wood in Eastern
cities
A rose quickly because wood was becoming so scarce.
Trang 5B was much higher than it was in Britain.
C was slightly higher than in previous years.
D decreased rapidly because of lower demand for wood.
Question 53: What can be inferred about houses in Britain during the period written about in the passage?
A They were more expensive than American houses.
B They were generally built with imported materials.
C They were typically smaller than homes in North America.
D They were usually built from materials other than wood.
Question 54: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a source of industrial compounds?
A potash B charcoal C gunpowder D tannic acid
Question 55: Why does the author mention gunpowder in paragraph 3?
A To illustrate the negative aspects of some industrial processes
B To remind readers that the colonial era ended in warfare
C To give an example of a product made with wood compounds
D To suggest that wood was not the only important product of the colonies
Question 56: The phrase follow suit in paragraph 4 means .
A do the same thing B make an attempt
C have the opportunity D take a risk
Question 57: According to the passage, why was the use of coke smelting advantageous?

Trang 10BÀI VIẾT :
Thanks to the development of technology, more and more devices have been invented to serve human beings’ need like cell phones, computer, or television, etc In my point of view, students should not be allowed to have cell phones in secondary and high schools for some reasons Firstly, that children use mobile phones will influence on their studies Students do not follow what the teacher has just said while they are typing message or going out class to make a phone call These make students’ study quality lower
In addition, the abuse of using cell phone will affect the overall health of students, especially their brains A mobile phone is designed to transmit radio waves in order to find a signal, this is likely to increase the risk
of brain cancer As far as I am concerned, mobile phones have a lot negative effects on youngsters, parents should help their kids with how to use a cell phone in the right way
